D'Empaire maintains a leading position in Venezuela’s corporate and M&A market, with particularly strong activity in deals arising from changes in the US sanctions regime—most notably in the oil and gas industry. The firm is also regularly engaged in transactions across the insurance, consumer goods, telecoms, food and beverage, and energy sectors. Fulvio Italiani steers the practice and is recognised for his longstanding experience in complex corporate transactions, especially in the natural resources and energy sectors. Roberto Mas advises on mergers, acquisitions, and internal restructurings, while associate Giancarlo Carrazza also plays an active role across the firm’s transactional mandates.
